@Carlo, there are lots of flavors of flip, but I generally find flipped instruction to misunderstand the conditions that make lecture useful (when you experience a need for it) and interesting (when it incorporates and builds on your own thinking).

Also not sold on flipped classroom, but I’d like to see what happens when someone tries it from day one.

I feel like the video-watched-by-only-one-person problem is what I’d run into. I’ve had flip enthusiasts swear to me the students _will_ watch the videos (even my students who tell me they’ve never done homework for any class, ever?), but I’ve had other tech-for-students things end up only get used by a handful.

What is worse about the flipped classroom?
1. That it is purely passive instruction
2. That not all students can/will participate

Thanx Dan! I’m working on it! New post coming today! Slow and steady…

I’ve had a lot of thoughts just trying to find time to share :)

I’m so cynical about the flipped classroom, I can’t even tell you.
